Sepapa Shrine is Recall used sideways: the ability ferries fire and an orb to places you cannot carry them yourself.
1. Ride the Platform Up
First platform. Up the stairs, wait for the moving platform, board it and Recall to ride it to the upper room.

2. Cross the Water and Open the Gate
Chest. Grab the torch by the gate, ride a wooden platform across the water, lighting the torch at the fire pillars on the way. Set the leaf wall on the far side alight — a chest drops: Strong Construct Bow.
The backtrack. Facing back the way you came, Recall a platform and ride it; re-light your torch as it passes the pillars, and let the Recall run out on its own — cancelling it kills the ride (and your flame).
Light the two pillars in front of the gate; it opens.

3. Orb Puzzle and Altar
Orb room. Climb the incline on the right, grab the orb, set it in the upper vessel, wait a few seconds, then move it to the lower vessel — the first altar gate opens.
Walk through gate one, then Recall the orb: it returns to the upper vessel and opens gate two. Take the Light of Blessing.

How do I keep the torch lit in Sepapa Shrine?
Recall a wooden platform and stand on it with your torch; as it drifts past the fire pillars, dip the torch in. Do not cancel the Recall mid-way — let it run to the end or the ride stops short.
How do the two altar gates in Sepapa Shrine open?
Put the orb in the upper vessel, wait a few seconds, then move it to the lower vessel — gate one opens. Walk through, then Recall the orb: it climbs back to the upper vessel and opens gate two.
